Cupcake

This subject matter is pretty simple, but a few extra touches can make it look rather sophisticated.

1. Draw the cupcake bottom that fills the bottom half of a sheet of watercolor paper. Draw the cherry where you would like it to sit, and add the frosting lines on either side.

2. Trace all the lines with a black Sharpie marker.

3. Draw sprinkles with different colored crayons. Add the cupcake wrapper lines with a crayon. Colors that will contrast with your planned paint color work best. (Note: I wish I made mine white or yellow.)

4. Paint all with liquid watercolors. For the cherry, leave a little white spot for a reflection.
